October 2.— There was an ajncreastnu" 'tendency toward dullness in atthei stock market to-day, and the condi- Stions became s=emi-stagnant at times. frher« was an 'obvious readiness, backed Ifey powerful resources, to support the imarkot at any Indication of a break in Iprfcey, pnoh sk occurred at the opening, btit there was an rqually obvious dispo frition to keop ad\Tinces within mofierato Umltc, and r.ot induce any renewed out break of extensive speculation. The adoption of this policy in stock market operations by well-equipped forces served to reinforc« the admonishing policy of the banks to restrict the: speculative" em-. ployment of funds until after the money outlook has cleared up. entirely. The de sire to n wait the result of to-morrow's conference of coal operators' and miners' Tpprcsontalives with ' President Roosevelt «ms also a restraining influence on "spec ulation. As a consequence, speculation fattened out almost completely, and this development was regarded with genuine relief and satisfaction by the best opinion Jn the financial world. WHAT AVERTED A CRISIS. Tt Js realized that the relief offered to the money market by Secretary : Shaw's tctlon averted a crisis that promised to bscome dangerous, and the determination )s msoiifest not to allow the resources thus provided to be prodigally used for the purpose of rpnew«d speculative infla tion of securities. There are various de velopments to show also that there are abundant requirements Upon New York money resources yet to be mot, and that pome of the possible sources of relief have been shut, off for the present by tne possession of additional facilities afforded by the release of reserves against govern ment deposits. There was a deposit at Ihe sub-treasury to-day of 5150.0W for tel sgraphlc transfer to New Orleans, and the movement of currency by express is e'gaJnst New York on balance. To day's advance in the Bank of England minimum discount rate, and the weekly exhibit of that institution and the Bank of France, are. clear indications that no cold ; is likely to-be spared by cither of those institutions at; present for ship ment to New York. Sterling exchange advanced sharply here. ADVANCE INN.' & W. Such movement as there was to-day in the market, was confined to a few stocks. An- advance In N. & "W., on expectation of- an increased dividend, caused a sym pathetic response in the Pennsylvania group. The few prams were much cur tailed, and last prices showed mixed net changes. The course of the bond v^market was halting and irregular. ■>■"-■■■■ Total sales, par value, $3,522,000.

Room traders encouraged ..to play lons side of - market in the ab- of selling pressure from commis sion houses. There is a noticeable ab sence of business in many stocks. It is thought in the room th^t the Oatcs crowd is responsible for tlie ad vance in Fuel. It is said on what is said to be good authority that Snuff, common, which haa not so far paid any dividends, will soon be put on a 10 per cent, basis. Not only will this, in all probability, be done, but It is intimated that the dividend action will be made retroactive so as to cover the first year of the company's earn- Jnfrs. Coal strike will- soon end. A plan to increase wages 10 per cent* ta miners will quickly break the back bone of the coal famine. •; The shorts in the anthracite stocks is large. Keep long of the soft coalers. Time money is still scarce at rate of 6 per cent, for sixty days, and six months. Millions will be required for crop moving purposes, so do not load up .with more stocks, than you can.' conveniently carry. The stock market is likely to be some what narrow and irregular to-day; with probably specialty advances. The banks have given evidence of their •^termination to curb the pool operations on the UDtum. ' : - The Bank of England hajs advanced the discount rate to 4: per cent. This lisa, the effect of operating cold • oxportn to the. United States by making mDiiry dearer. This may cause- a slight depres sion, here. ._ : ./ ;-" ..

The Armour interests control every speculative article traded in on the board except lard, and the Cudahays have that. It is the most peculiar position ever known to the trade. : ; All stocks are very light. Armour controls the stock of 2,100,000 bushels of contract wheat here, all tri3 l.COO.OO') bushels of corn, part of the oats, the 31,000 barrels of contract, pork and the 11,000,000 pounds of short ribs, also a good part of the, other provisions in store here. The Cudahays have the 34,900, packages of contract laxd here. Carrying charges will 'have to be pa!a, As there is no money in hedging by sell. ing futures at discount, the shorts will have- to pay them. Armour /bought the grains and provisions in the open market and stood for , a delivery of the cash stuff. At. the same time, It has'; always been his practice to settle with shorts and feed the market.

The -Liverpool market "news' con tamed nothing to stimulate investment buying, and the weather chart failed to offer 'special inducement to the room bulls. Nevertheless." there was little cot ton for sale. The South and Europe sold on the rise, as did some of the more de termined bear operators. -Not long af ter the call tha market suffered a reac tion under-realizing by commission houses and continued pressure from the bear side. The receipts at the ports were seen to be increasing, again, and rumors were circulated to the effect that to-morrow's bureau condition statement for October, j will sklv, 60 or over. After easing off to 8.82 the whole list Stiffened up again, soon after the noon hour, on reports of dam age to open cotton by excessive rains in j Northern Texas. The ring shorts, how ever were about the only buyers on this information, and late in the afternoon the market turned weak under active public realizing, with a fresh demonstration of bear confidence. The selling movement was active all the last hour, and at. the close the tone was barely steady, with' prices net 5 to 7 points lower. Total sales were estimated at 250,000 bales. . . NEW ORLEANS, October 2.— ln the market for spot cotton there was little doing; quotations unchanged. In tha line of contracts the market was also very slow. Quite a number of leading spirits were absent from the ringside on account of the Jewish New Year, and those who were in" advance displayed but ; scant, in terest in the market, executing a few. outside orders and doing an occasional of scalping, but holding off before en gaging actively until to-morrow's bureau statement had been received. The changes in prices were slight, the market at the close-. showing 'losses of 2 to 3 points, com pared with yesterday. . Cotton i futures closed - steady and quiet. October 8.32@5.35 .
